Thunderf00t's second video critiquing SpinLaunch, the company that proposes flinging rockets and payloads into space with a giant centrifuge. He argues the idea is physically unworkable.
It is cited as the skeptical debunking whenever SpinLaunch comes up, not recommended as neutral analysis.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Spinlaunch: BUSTED!: [LINK] Spinlaunch: BUSTED (Part 2): [VIDEO]
Sorry to put a dampener on things, but Thunderf00t has already done two debunking videos on SpinLaunch. He's rarely wrong. [LINK] [VIDEO]
It's as brilliant and a scam as Hyperloop. Balloons with a small launcher would be cheaper...but that's lame and not cool (marketing)....like normal trains instead of Hyper ;) Spinlaunch: BUSTED! 1+2 [LINK] [VIDEO]
